How to Overcome The logon attempt failed even though the password is correct

I have failed many times to try to access the VPS login via Remote Desktop, even though the user & password are correct.

If you experience a problem as appears in this notification, the error message "the logon attempt failed“. To solve this kind of problem, first to ensure that Windows Firewall has been turned off. We also tried using another Remote Desktop that isn't the default windows app but there was no difference in problems. The solution is as I've tried and it works. follow step by step so that there is no misunderstanding.

– If doing method copy paste make sure no space is copied
– Copy VPS password from Email to App Notepad (to remove the html code)

Problem solving steps
